In this chapter we will investigate the connection between the possible expectation values of an observable A and its fluctuations in context with its commutator [A, H]. Furthermore, we will establish the relationship between momentum conservation and translational invariance as well as the conservation of angular momentum and rotational invariance in quantum theory. In addition we will introduce the ‘spin’ of electrons (or related fermions) and explore its properties with respect to rotations.

Expectation Values and Fluctuations of Observables

  • Wolfgang Cassing

摘要

In this chapter we will investigate the connection between the possible expectation values of an observable A and its fluctuations in context with its commutator [A, H]. Furthermore, we will establish the relationship between momentum conservation and translational invariance as well as the conservation of angular momentum and rotational invariance in quantum theory. In addition we will introduce the ‘spin’ of electrons (or related fermions) and explore its properties with respect to rotations.
